Nice. Hopefully mine will get the same after I get it broken in a bit.
30.5 with 3.55s?
3.55 and no spare. What I have noticed is when the car is cold (30s outside temp) the car dumps loads of fuel when warming up. I will roll into the parking lot at 30mpg in the morning and before I can even leave the lot my MPG drops 4mpg. By the time I hit the highway on my commute the car is warmed up and I reset the real time MPG read out. But to a tank in the winter im doing 22-23 with my daily driving. What really kills MPG is cold starts and little to and from trips. I did a 2hr 100mi round trip to the dealer and back shortly after I got the car, and i got 27mpg readout with cruise set at 60mph.
:shrug:
Those #'s don't seem right especially in short commute in a GT. Typically, shorter commutes lessen mpg.
It sounds like he is resetting the MPG display once he is on the freeway, running 60 on cruise - and then reporting the highest number he sees?
I am on the highway for about 6 miles, how does a short commute lessen mpg? I know a longer trip will net a more accurate number but thats what the read out says. I have 1200mi on the car I think im broken in.
Yes exactly, and I believe I stated that in one of my posts. But yes I do reset the real time read out once I hop on the highway and I get around 29.5-30.5 for that short distance. Now with my other daily driving included, stop and go, running errands etc I get about 22mpg to the tank. I have yet to do a full highway trip, but my longest was about a 100mi trip which showed 27mpg on the read out.
...because you don't get 30.5 mpg when only driving 6 miles.
im not misleading anything....Tell me how you cant get 30.5mpg in 6 miles other than the fact that it doesnt add up? If I drove that 6 mile route 5 times I should roughly get 30mpg...Before you bash me read my previous posts in here. I never claimed the car gets 30mpg, I simply stated what the readout said during my short commute.
How does this add up, 504mi to a tank at 20mpg? Or did you not reset the trip?
